We construct a family of K\"ahler-Einstein edge metrics on all Hirzebruch surfaces using the Calabi ansatz and study their angle deformation. This allows us to verify in some special cases a conjecture of Cheltsov-Rubinstein that predicts…
We study del Pezzo surfaces that are quasismooth and well-formed weighted hypersurfaces. In particular, we find all such surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is greater than 2/3.
In this paper we investigate Fano manifolds $X$ whose Chern characters $ch_k(X)$ satisfy some positivity conditions. Our approach is via the study of polarized minimal families of rational curves $(H_x,L_x)$ through a general point $x\in…
We introduce a class of Laurent polynomials, called maximally mutable Laurent polynomials (MMLPs), that we believe correspond under mirror symmetry to Fano varieties. A subclass of these, called rigid, are expected to correspond to Fano…
In this article, we consider weak del Pezzo surfaces defined over a finite field, and their associated, singular, anticanonical models. We first define arithmetic types for such surfaces, by considering the Frobenius actions on their Picard…
We determine the complete list of anticanonically embedded quasi smooth log del Pezzo surfaces in weighted projective 3-spaces. We prove that many of these admit a K\"ahler-Einstein metric and most of them do not have tigers.
We prove several boundedness results for log Fano pairs with certain K-stability. In particular, we prove that K-semistable log Fano pairs of Maeda type form a log bounded family. We also compute K-semistable domains for some examples.
We classify del Pezzo surfaces with 1/3(1,1) points in 29 qG-deformation families grouped into six unprojection cascades (this overlaps with work of Fujita and Yasutake), we tabulate their biregular invariants, we give good model…
We find Fano threefolds $X$ admitting K\"ahler-Ricci solitons (KRS) with non-trivial moduli, which are $\mathbb{T}$-varieties of complexity two. More precisely, we show that the weighted K-stability of $(X,\xi_0)$ (where $\xi_0$ is the…
Two families of surfaces arise from considering cyclic branched covers of $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ over smooth quartic curves. These consist of degree 2 del Pezzo surfaces with a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ action and $K3$ surfaces with a…
Let $M_n := \mathbb{CP}^2 \# n\overline{\mathbb{CP}^2}$ for $0 \leq n \leq 8$ be the underlying smooth manifold of a degree $9-n$ del Pezzo surface. We prove three results about the mapping class group $\text{Mod}(M_n) :=…
We develop the notion of Peskine sixfolds with associated K3 surfaces and cubic fourfolds and work out numerical conditions for when these associations occur. In discriminant 24, the first family for which there is an associated cubic…
We study the variation of admissible representations of $p$-adic $GL_n$ in families from the point of view of the Bernstein--Zelevinsky classification and show that the ramified parts of these families are rigid. We explain how to apply our…
A. Lins Neto presented in [Lins-Neto,2002] a $1$-dimensional family of degree four foliations on the complex projective plane $\mathcal{F}_{t \in \overline{\mathbb{C}}}$ with non-degenerate singularities of fixed analytic type, whose set of…
According to a conjecture attributed to Hartshorne and Lichtenbaum and proven by Ellingsrud and Peskine, the smooth rational surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^4$ belong to only finitely many families. We formulate and study a collection of analogous…
We construct a family of Fano fourfolds with the derived category of coherent sheaves of a general Enriques surface as semiorthogonal component. This improves a result of Kuznetsov, lowering the Fano dimension of a general Enriques surface…
The Erd\H{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Less well known is Erd\H{o}s' distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear points in the…
We consider two classes of non-toric log del Pezzo $\mathbb{C}^*$-surfaces: on the one side the 1/3-log canonical ones and on the other side those of Picard number one and Gorenstein index at most 65. In each of the two classes we figure…
In this short note, we give an alternative proof of the semipositivity of the Chow-Mumford line bundle for families of K-semistable log-Fano pairs, and of the nefness threeshold for the log-anti-canonical line bundle on families of K-stable…
We give a classification of Gorenstein Fano bi-equivariant compactifications of semisimple complex Lie groups with rank two, and determine which of them are equivariant K-stable and admit (singular) K\"{a}hler-Einstein metrics. As a…
